Resumo

Abstract A radiochemical detector has been built to measure fast neutrons (E>2.5 MeV), using the reaction n + 40 Ca → 37 Ar + 4 He . The target consists in 470 litres of an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate. This detector has been used in the GALLEX environment at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory.
